Trump labor secretary pick Andy Puzder talked about replacing workers with robots

President-elect Donald Trump’s potential pick for labor secretary, Andy Puzder, has talked up the benefits of replacing real human workers with technology.

“They’re always polite, they always upsell, they never take a vacation, they never show up late, there’s never a slip-and-fall, or an age, sex or race discrimination case,” said Puzder, chief executive of CKE Restaurants Inc., in an interview with Business Insider earlier this year. CKE owns, operates and franchises restaurant chains including Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s.

In the interview, Puzder discussed job automation and the rising cost of labor in the restaurant industry. The potential labor secretary has written opinion pieces for The Wall Street Journal in which he talked about his opposition to raising the minimum wage.

“The point is simple: The feds can mandate a higher wage, but some jobs don’t produce enough economic value to bear the increase,” Puzder wrote in an October 2014 commentary piece.

Probably a good pick if you view Idiocracy as a predictive documentary instead of a satirical comedy.

I'm of the opinion that it is both of those. But I fail to see why he wouldn't be a good pick; based on what zippy posted above it seems that has a pretty good grasp with one of the problems with our current "labor" market.

You do realize that Idiocracy is where this whole shebang is heading, right? But without the laughs.

I do; however, I find myself laughing about it plenty.

Carl's Jr : Food so bad we need to shove breasts in all our advertising to make it somewhat appetizing.

Does that bother your snowflake sensibilities?

I think it has more to do with a lot of drama in his personal life.

Choices have arms and legs.
